From award winning New York Times best-selling author, Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., C.N.S., comes the updated and revised Eat Fat Lose Weight: How Smart Fats Reset Metabolism, Stress, Hunger and Sex Hormones for Lasting Weight Loss and Radiant Health.

You think you're doing everything right: diet, exercise and even willpower. But, you're still not getting the results you deserve because you have a fear of fat and your hormones are out of whack. That’s why this book is a must— to give you all the missing keys you need whether you're low fat, no-fat, Paleo, Primal, or simply focusing on detox and cleansing.

For decades, Ann Louise Gittleman has been a lone voice advocating the return of Smart Fats to the diet even when fat was demonized for the past 30 years by mainstream doctors, nutritionists and dieticians. In her years of research and experience with thousands of clients from A-list celebrities to everyday men and women, Gittleman has discovered that hormones—which govern metabolism, stress, hunger and sex—are the most overlooked and underrated culprits that can block even the most disciplined weight loss efforts. Yet, they are ALL brought into balance by the addition of the same powerful dietary solution—the Smart Fats!

In Eat Fat Lose Weight you’ll…

    • Uncover how bile—the body’s ignored but primary method to breakdown fats and eliminate toxins—can be linked to the most urgent health concerns. Fortunately, all of the degenerative and mysterious illnesses connected to inadequate bile can be easily remedied, and Gittleman will show you how—whether you still have your gallbladder...or not! One unexpected solution may be as easy as avoiding the top three food allergens.

    • Discover how metabolism can be derailed by sneaky saboteurs you never dreamed of—like hidden dental and sinus infections and the Epstein-Barr Virus; how your adrenals can inhibit your thyroid; how fruit can make you fat; why grain is such a drain; and how copper overload can wreak havoc on sex hormones by contributing to estrogen dominance.

    • Become intimately familiar with ALL the Smart Fats that deserve a prominent place at breakfast, lunch & dinner. Most importantly, you will learn how to fully utilize them for effortless "waist control" and the prevention or management of depression, diabetes, heart disease, chronic fatigue, allergies, arthritis, psoriasis, eczema and low thyroid.


    In     Eat Fat Lose Weight, Gittleman has brought together do-able and delicious Smart Fat tips, tricks and recipes for complete weight loss and wellness. In each chapter, you’ll find targeted foods, supplements and lifestyle intervention suggestions—many of which she originally researched for concerned readers as the nutrition columnist for First for Women magazine. Gittleman expands on that research and makes the solutions even easier and more complete with the emergence of all the latest Smart Fats like omega-7, pine nut oil and hemp seed oil, as well as the Smart Fat staples—coconut, GLA, fish, flax, cream and butter. You’ll also find smart sips, seasonings and sweeteners to round out your culinary creativity.

    As Gittleman says in her introduction, “I want each of you to be able to lose weight, feel great, and experience the highest degree of well-being, vitality & radiance no matter what diet you are doing or what has gone before.”

    Praise for Eat Fat, Lose Weight

    “The revered queen of nutrition’s classic Eat Fat Lose Weight – THE go-to bible about how dietary fat can make you lean and healthy – just got updated and revised, and I can’t recommend this smart, fun-to-read book highly enough. Whether you want to lose weight, boost your sex drive reclaim your health, or have more energy (or, heck, ALL of the above!),     Eat Fat Lose Weight absolutely belongs on your bookshelf or reading device.”

    -JJ Virgin | Author of New York Times best seller,     The Sugar Impact Diet

    5.0 out of 5 stars Did you have gallbladder surgery???? Are you feeling crappy and having problems losing weight? Read this book.
    Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2016

    NO Gallbladder? You need to read this book. I was told by the physician after my gallbladder surgery that I did not have to take any supplements and everything was now okay.
    Since 1983, I have lived with the symptoms that Dr Gittleman mentions in her book. Symptoms such as nausea, gas, constant bloating, etc.
    I have now started to take bile salts (I use the brand that she recommends) and Betaine HCl. I now feel so good after eating a fatty meal. Previous to this, I had been trying to eat the high fat diet that everyone is says we need and I was feeling all of the sympoms that she had listed in this book for poor digestion of fats. This book has changed my life. About 6 months ago, my Endocrinologist wanted to give me statin drugs for high cholesterol and high LDL. WOW, I am so glad that I found this book. It's been about 2 months since starting the bile salts and my cholesterol has decreased and my LDL is normal. I had no need of the statin drug.
    I only wish that I had read this book years ago. I'm now trying to get my body to adapt to eating the good fats and hoping that I will now lose weight.. Before all of this, I could only gain weight. I was eventually on what the dietitian told me was a starvation diet from following what all of the doctor's told me to do . They said eat less and exercise more, every time I complained about weight gain. I exercised so much that I had to sleep from exhaustion. I decreased my food until there was hardly anything on the plate. I was eating veggies and meat and hardly any carbs. I know that
    there are many other people out there that have my problem. My prayer is that those of you with your gallbladder removed, will find this book and learn the facts about needing bile after gallbladder surgery and our need for "Smart Fats"
    Thank You Dr. Gittleman for your fantastic book. I loved it!!!

    I bought a Woman's magazine because it had an article about thyroid and how to cure your weight loss problems. It turned out to be a small portion of the Eat Fat, Lose Weight book and information by Ann Louise Gittleman . My doctor had suggested I try an anti-inflammatory diet weeks before I found the article so I immediately tried the plan cutting out wheat, yeast, sugar, and most dairy because of inflammation from arthritis and after 3 weeks I am down 4 pounds. I have struggled to lose weight all my life but now with this plan it's like the weight is melting off. Amazing! I'm very glad I read that article and found this plan. I'm eating butter, real cream, all kinds of wonderful foods that were no-nos on hundreds of diets I had tried before and am not hungry all the time. My digestive system is much happier since I cut out the wheat and yeast too.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Dr. Gittleman Stays True to her mantra
    Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    I've been a devotee of Dr. Gittleman since she published her Fat Flush book many years ago. Her advice then brought me out of a nutritional tail-spin of yo-yoing and suffering. I dropped over 40 lbs. then and continued with her regimen to this day. Her advice is straight forward and comprehensible by anyone who wants to get their eating habits back on track. The evidentiary truth is: We are what we eat! What the world needs is a good dose of sane advice based on how our bodies really work - not what the medical profession says we should eat or the government. If you want to feel great and outlive your friends Read this book.

    So far I can only find this available on Kindle and I have a hard time with lighted screens. I found it very ironic that this is only available on a lighted screen app because the author wrote "Zapped" about lowering EMF s and not using screens before bed which is exactly when I want to read! I much prefer a physical book that I can mark up and easily flip around in. The info is right on. I have been researching the importance of eating enough healthy fats and this is very thorough.

    I was skeptical, because I have digestive issues, but after delving into the book and using some of the recipies I started feeling better and I have developed some good eating habits. I can recall after about a week, having gone to the grocery store and picking up coconut oil and a few other essential items, I began to feel better and my digestive issues were lessened. I am going to continue studying and reading this has really been a great source of encouragement and information.

    This updated version of the 90s forerunner is the best synthesis of all you need to know about eating fat to get thin and stay health all over. Ann Louise's section on the gallbladder and bile are worth the price of this Kindle alone. I especially enjoyed the tasty and easy recipes and all the ways eating the slimming smart fats can reset hormones, tamp down hunger, and eliminate stress. A must read!
